Kids Yoga

The benefits of yoga for children (and adults) extend well beyond the physical. Yoga calms body and mind, promotes body awareness and coordination, and creates an internal sense of balance. It can also help with concentration, reduce stress, and generate an over-all sense of well being.

Rhythm Kids Level I (4-5 years)

Rhythm Kids Level 1 is the next musical step for your preschool child (ages 4–5) with a parent or caregiver. Each week we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games. Rhythm Kids Level 1 guides children toward developmentally appropriate music and movement activities, where they can begin to take charge, lead others, and be musically creative, as they:

make up their own drumming patterns

invent new ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.)

create movement ideas for songs

even take a drum solo!

Rhythm Kids Level 1 follows through on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight.

Classes are for preschoolers ages 4–5 and include:

10 weekly, 45-minute classes

Animal Collection Songbook and 2 CDs each semester

Access to online drum-play videos and other material

Your child will:

Explore the world of rhythm through movement, instrument play, and song

Drums will be provided for the class each week, but if you’d like your child to have a drum to play with at home (and then continue to use in Level 2 classes!), please ask your teacher about the special discounts on djembe drums that are available to Music Together families.
